আমি সুদূরের পিয়াসি ....

 " ...ওগো   সুদূর, বিপুল সুদূর,  তুমি যে   বাজাও ব্যাকুল বাঁশরি--
     কক্ষে আমার রুদ্ধ দুয়ার   সে কথা যে যাই পাশরি॥  " 

For all MUMMA(s) out there..

Slow down mummy, there is no need to rush,
slow down mummy, what is all the fuss?
Slow down mummy, make yourself a cup tea.
Slow down mummy, come and spend some time with me.

Slow down mummy, let's put our boots on and go out for a walk,
let's kick at piles of leaves, and smile and laugh and talk.
Slow down mummy, you look ever so tired,
come sit and snuggle under the duvet and rest with me a while.

Slow down mummy, those dirty dishes can wait,
slow down mummy, let's have some fun, let's bake a cake!
Slow down mummy I know you work a lot,
but sometimes mummy, its nice when you just stop.

Sit with us a minute,
& listen to our day,
spend a cherished moment,
because our childhood is not here to stay!

Thakur Bhasan ....

ঠাকুরের নামে এ যে কি কান্ড , পড়ে বিশ্বাস করতে পারছিনা। আশা করছি আমরা একটু মানবিক হবার চেষ্টা করব আগামীদিনে।  উত্সবের নাম করে মানুষকে বিপদে ফেলার পরিকল্পনা যত তাড়াতাড়ি বন্ধ করা যায় তত মঙ্গল মানুষেরই।

Songs For ME ...

SONGS FOR YOU ...

Several days ago ....

 Several days ago as I left a meeting I desperately gave myself a personal search. I was

 looking for my keys.

 They were not in my pockets. A quick search in  the meeting room revealed nothing.

 Suddenly I realized I must have left them in the  car. Frantically, I headed for the car park.

  My husband has scolded me many times for leaving  the keys in the ignition.

  My theory is the ignition is the best place not  to lose them. 

  His theory is that the car will be stolen.

  As I scanned the car park I came to a terrifying  conclusion! His theory was right. The car park

  was empty.

  I immediately called the police. I gave them my  location, confessed that I had left my keys in

  the car, and that it had been stolen.

  Then I made the most difficult call of all.

 "Hello My Love", I stammered; I always call him  "My Love" in times like these. "I left my keys in

  the car, and it has been stolen."

 There was a period of silence. I thought the call  had disconnected, but then I heard his voice. He

 barked, "I dropped you off!"

 Now it was my time to be silent. Embarrassed, I  said, "Well, come and get me."

 He retorted, "I will, as soon as I convince this  policeman I have not stolen your bloody car."

 This is what they call, " the Golden Years!"

Efforts may fail but don't fail to make efforts.

The Japanese love fresh fish. But the waters around Japan have not held as many fish as they used to, for decades now. To feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever. The return trip took more time, and the fish were not fresh.
 
To solve this problem, fish companies installed freezers on their boats. However, the Japanese customers could taste the difference between fresh & frozen fish. And they did not like the taste of frozen fish.
 
 So, fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and stuff them in tanks, fin to fin. After a little thrashing around, they were tired, dull, and lost their fresh-fish taste. The fishing industry faced an impending crisis. But that was resolved and today, they get fresh- tasting fish in Japan. How did they manage to do that?

 To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks but along with a small shark. To stay alive, the fish have to constantly stay on the move. Which also happens to keep them fresh!!
 
 At work, sharks are the new challenges that we face every day, in current tasks or processes, or when facing customers. 

You are active, energized & happy when  you are constantly conquering challenges. You have the resources, skills & abilities to make a difference.

Think about innovative ways /ideas to overcome these challenges.
